Instructions

The best fried rice is made over high heat in a light bottom wok. You must be super quick while adding the ingredients; otherwise, they may burn. So make sure to gather all the ingredients before you start to cook.
Heat oil in a light-bottomed large wok (or a large skillet) over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot and shimmery, add garlic and ginger and saute for 3-4 seconds.
Now add onions and saute for 10-15 seconds.
Add bell pepper and mushrooms and fry until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture is evaporated (1-2 minutes), stirring frequently.
Add rice, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Be very careful while adding additional salt, as soy sauce is also very salty.
Mix everything well using a spatula until the rice grains are coated with the sauce.
Add green onions and celery and mix well.
Check for salt and sauces and add more to taste.
Garnish with some chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Notes

If you are using freshly cooked rice and want to fasten the cooling process, then spread it on a baking sheet, cover with cling wrap and freeze for 15 minutes.

Restaurants add MSG (Ajinomoto ) to their fried rice recipes for that umami flavor. If you are not allergic to it, add ½ teaspoon to the recipe. Mushroom powder is also a great ingredient to give that umami taste.
